Question

How to get licensed to sell insurance to businesses from home?

Answer 1

Each individual state issues insurance licenses. Contact your states insurance department and they will give you licensing information. Some states allow you to self study for the exam, some states require a 40 hour class and some states require you to be sponsored by an insurance company.

Answer 2

Well, it's not hard to get the license.  You have to go to your state insurance department website, and buy materials, maybe take a couple classes, and pass a test.  

The hard part is finding a company willing to let you sell their product - with no experience, it can be very hard, depending on what type of insurance you want to sell.  

Not sure why you want to do this from your home - businesses aren't going to come to you.  Sales is HARD, and starting out, you'll be spending 60 - 80 hours a week out of the house, just trying to drum up the business.
